The demand for the Pokémon x Van Gogh Museum collaboration proved overwhelming, selling out online with massive crowds hoarding merchandise.
What do they mean declining attendance? I was there a few weeks ago and you had to book a day or two ahead cause it was sold out when I was going just trying to walk in.
Nothing about that in the linked article. Maybe put in to shoehorn it into the boring dystopia environment?
I think having pikachu with only one ear may have been a missed opportunity.
The only way to fight this is to radically increase supply IMHO
Manufactured scarcity is generally stupid and anti consumer. Just make the things people want to buy and let them buy it. In this case they could easily do repeat prints until the last print doesn't sell out the same day.
